Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for March 03, 2023

Glad I wasn’t drinking anything when I read this one.

Ugh. Stubble.

Put your phone down and enjoy the walk and your drink and have a hand free for emergencies

And the guy’s got pants with no strings attached.

When Ninja Bird strikes you not realise until it too late.

Would you believe it? He actually tied the ends together!

And so Ninja Sloth helped him.

String theory?

Better than a pickpocket…

is he goin’ back for the worm?

It will be interesting to watch when he tries to walk away.

But he got the attention of a couple other folks.

The birds here love it when we take our golden retriever out on the deck to bush him.

This is a riot, Mark! Thank you for making me laugh out loud this morning.

Oblivious to his surroundings, this schmuck felt a breeze, all of a sudden…

I hate it when that happens

Oops!

We can already tell who doesn’t wear the pants in his family.

…and his phone call just dropped too!

I keep my pants up with a piece of twine.

I keep my eyes wide open all the time.

I keep the ends out for the tie that binds.

That bird says hey thats mine—and pulls my twine

They call it a drawstring because without it you draw a crowd. :)

They caught that guy with his pants down…

At first, only the top of this ’toon showed, and I thought that “string” was his earphones.

No strings attached.

Good thing he’s wearing them kinky black shorts!

Funny, except In real life the other two people wouldn’t have noticed as they’d be glued to their own phone

Blue bird withdrew his draw string…

So, there’s also a Bluebird of unhappiness ?

“liking the angle of the dangle?”

Somehow, I think Ninja Sloth was involved

So glad he’s not going commando! :)
